Make all your event wishes come true with these fabulous finds

It’s the Event Manager’s conundrum, always striving to outdo yourself with every production. More food? More wine? Better goodie bags?
Yeah, nah.
They won’t cut it – the only cutting they’ll do is into your budget, without the big impact you want.
With plenty of runsheets under your belt, you know it’s the talent that makes or breaks. It’s what your audience recalls most vividly.
And you wish that, somehow, a fresh bunch of talent ideas would land in your inbox…
Well today, your wishes came true with 8 brilliant Aussie comedians you perhaps hadn’t heard of before!

As well as performing in a live environment, Georgie draws on her 18 years of Emergency and Intensive Care Nursing experience to write about health topics with her own no-nonsense, playful banter.
She also draws on her motherhood of 2 children, and her relationship with her husband to bring out the humour in living with and raising a family in her own unique way.
Nurse Georgie Carroll is a riot that had the audience rolling in the aisles.

He combines his boundless energy, infectious smile and killer wit to produce world-class comedy.
Mickey is equally at home as compere or headline act and his warm presence and infectious smile are always guaranteed to rub off on any audience.
His joyous, frisky attitude creates a raucous atmosphere that nurtures unabashed laughter.

Becky’s solo shows sell out and she has supported headliners like Wil Anderson, Jim Norton and Joel Creasey.
Like an iron fist in a velvet glove, Becky’s humour will hit you on the nose when you least expect it.
She’s super talented, fresh and in a class of her own.
You don’t have much time left to brag that you saw Becky Lucas before she was cool and a sell-out.
ROL: Return on Laughs
There are plenty of funny-makers who will adjust material to suit your audience – and make their sides split at the same time.

Rusty recently paired up with another guy, accomplished musical theatre performer Mike McLeish aka Paul Keating from Keating the musical.

Undeniably funny and talented, this duo will deliver, and with custom material!
Rusty and Mike included hilarious specially written material which had the whole room in stitches.

Akmal Saleh took Joel under his wing from a young age, and he supported American Arj Barker in a standout season of Sydney performances.

He’s disarming; he’s accessible without being common; articulate and clever without being smug… bloody funny
